For the device rights, you can use the following entries in the config file /etc/devfs.conf: # Allow members of group operator to r/w things to the palm link ucom0 pilot ownucom root:operator perm ucom 0660 And put the desired 'username' in the 'operator' group (or whatever you want): # pw groupmod -n operator -m username The only drawback i found is that since the ucom device is created on "demand", you need to restart devfs each time you plug the palm in: # /etc/rc.d/devfs restart I personaly don't have this problem since i use the "sync over ppp" method. The proposed method from geekhome did not work for me the last time i try it; but i can give it an other try just to see). -- -jpeg. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

It is the devfs solution that I am looking for. I managed to find a Linux doc on the topic http://www.atnf.csiro.au/people/rgooch/linux/docs/devfs.html Which may help. Regards, -- -mark.

USB + palm setup
Hi, I am having troubles getting my Palm m505 working via USB under 5.3 RELEASE. For the basic setup, I have been following: http://www.geekhome.net/palm.html I have a new kernel and it recognises the Palm unit during hot sync: Jan 24 16:20:03 kant kernel: ucom0: Palm, Inc. Palm Handheld, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 3 Jan 24 16:20:03 kant kernel: ucom0: Palm, Inc. Palm Handheld, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 3 Jan 24 16:20:23 kant kernel: ucom0: at uhub1 port 4 (addr 3) disconnected Jan 24 16:20:23 kant kernel: ucom0: detached My problem is with /dev/ucom0 and /dev/pilot. How do I create these correctly? I have the following entry in /etc/usbd.conf: device "PalmOS Device" devname "ucom0" vendor 0x0830 product 0x0002 release 0x0100 This create /dev/ucom0 on connection but with permissions 660, so pilot-link as a user fails. Any help appreciated. -mark. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
